Al-'Alaq

(1)Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),

(2)Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).

(3)Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,

(4)Who has taught (the writing) by the pen [the first person to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch) >>],

(5)Has taught man that which he knew not.

(6)Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.).

(7)Because he considers himself self-sufficient.

(8)Surely! Unto your Lord is the return.

(9)Have you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) seen him (i.e. Abû Jahl) who prevents,

(10)A slave (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) when he prays?

(11)Tell me, if he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is on the guidance (of Allâh)?

(12)Or enjoins piety?

(13)Tell me if he (the disbeliever, Abû Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur'ân), and turns away?

(14)Knows he not that Allâh does see (what he does)?

(15)Nay! If he (Abû Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock,

(16)A lying, sinful forelock!

(17)Then, let him call upon his council (of helpers),

(18)We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)!

(19)Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abû Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allâh!

At-Tin

(1)By the fig, and the olive,

(2)By Mount Sinai,

(3)And by this city of security (Makkah)[] ,

(4)Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould),

(5)Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low,

(6)Save those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, then they shall have a reward without end (Paradise).

(7)Then what (or who) causes you (O disbelievers) to deny the Recompense (i.e. Day of Resurrection)?

(8)Is not Allâh the Best of judges?
